I can share my experiance:

We run an official mirror server for many opensource projects. We use  
FreeBSD 7 including ZFS as the storage server. The system is mirroring  
a lot of data every day via rsync to the local zfs pool and offering  
all data via ftp/rsync and http to the end user. We have a few  
terabyte traffic every week and a lot of i/o load.

After a few tweaks (vfs.zfs.arc_max etc) FreeBSD 7.x is running  
without any problems since a few months. Even with a few crashes at  
the beginning, we never encountered any data loss with zfs.

I'm just talking about FreeBSD 7.x and not FreeBSD current. But  
current is not considered as production ready.

Thomas
